    Question Sporadic Connection Drops- Cox Internet, Wifi or Modem?

    Definitely appreciate the help! Going to run through these to try to identify it. Since it's sporadic, would be very difficult to try only a wired connection. I may try to swap the modem I have out with a different one to see if maybe that helps. I did check the logs for the modem and while I...

    Which kind of connection to go from PC to TV (50 ft cable distance)

    looks like I'd be looking at around $60. Is there a big quality difference between VGA and HDMI that I'd notice coming from the computer to the TV? I bought the 15ft dvi to HDMI cable from monoprice for around $8; I was hoping for a solution that would be around the $25 range. ~J

    Just wondering if anyone knew the answer to this. It looks like for the retail edge program you have to be qualified by 11/30. What is the definition of "Qualified"? I'm just 1300 short of 12000, wondering if I should apply now and hope I get the bundle, or wait it out. I'm not yet...
